Dreams and Delusions: Psychiatric Explorations (Paperback)

One of the fascinations of psychiatry is its very wide range, extending from its close relationship with medical illness to the influence of social and cultural factors on psychiatric disorders. In addition, there are important areas where psychiatry and psychology overlap. These interconnections are reflected in this collection of articles and essays which include intriguing historical case studies, contemporary dilemmas of psychiatric diagnosis and treatment, and the attitudes of psychiatric staff and the general public towards people with mental disorders.
